KS2 performance poetry

Does anyone know of any online clips of poetry being performed? My class have to write a verse about a mythical creature they created and I would like them to watch something to help them with expression. I am full of cold so I can't even say words that sound the way they should at the moment otherwise I would do it myself!

I write poetry for children and I record poetry every day for children to listen to. I think it is so important that children HEAR poetry well before they read it. I write about many mythical creatures and if you wish to have a recording for a particular day, I'd be glad to put one on my main website. I'm often invited to visit school classrooms and children love to perform one of my poems. If your children can perform one of my poems really well, I'd be delighted if you recorded it and I'd gladly link to it and give the children the credit they deserve. Contact me. I love to be involved with schools. I've been a teacher myself all my working life - and loved it.
